    That Deep Blue colour matches how I feel

    So on Saturday I was in a car accident and got T-boned at an intersection.
    Both doors took the brunt of the impact plus the B pillar..
    Fortunately no injuries
    My beautiful car is now looking rather worse for wear and is being quoted up for repair at a LR certified repair shop. (Alto artarmon for those in Sydney)
    Once the quote is in the insurance company will make the decision on repair or replace.
    If it’s repaired then probably 2 months to get it repaired with parts having to be shipped from UK to AUS.
    If replaced then that will be ordering a new one and waiting 6 months.

    I just had a very similar accident, though not quite as bad as my B pillar undamaged.

    2 new doors, painting, moving all ancillaries across etc, came to £6000.

    Sorry to hear that mate.
    Quoter guy from repair shop was estimating over $30K AUD on Monday.

    Ouch, that looks nasty. Looks like the structure has protected the occupants well, must have been quite an impact.

    Absolutely kept us safe.
    Fortunately low speed so air bags did not deploy in either car.

    The Nissan xtrail that hit us had nose damage

    Ouch. Glad nobody was injured.
    I was at Alto yesterday (collecting my car after an e-Diff issue was investigated) but didn't see it there.

    Hi Ron
    It’s at the alto body shop. That’s under Audi next to the LR dealership not at the service centre.

    What was the ediff issue

    It is sticky releasing, it does so but with a noise and feels like you’re driving over a cats eye in the road. Only happens when driving away with a bit of steering input as. It will be replaced, probably towards the end of this month.
